An employee holding transferable post has no right to insist that he should be allowed to serve at a particular place for a particular period.

Single crystals of rubidium tetra­fluorido­bromate(III), RbBrF4, were grown by melting and recrystallizing RbBrF4 from its melt. This is the first determination of the crystal structure of RbBrF4 using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. We confirmed that the structure contains square-planar [BrF4]− anions and rubidium cations that are coordinated by F atoms in a square-anti­prismatic manner. The compound crystallizes in the KBrF4 structure type. Atomic coordinates and bond lengths and angles were determined with higher precision than in a previous report based on powder X-ray diffraction data [Ivlev et al. (2015). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 641, 2593–2598].

Bicontinuous cubic structures in soft matter consist of two intertwining labyrinths separated by a partitioning layer. Combining experiments, numerical modelling and techniques in differential geometry, we investigate twinning defects in bicontinuous cubic structures. We first demonstrate that a twin boundary is most likely to occur at a plane that cuts the partitioning layer almost perpendicularly, so that the perturbation caused by twinning remains minimal. This principle can be used as a criterion to identify potential twin boundaries, as demonstrated through detailed investigations of mesoporous silica crystals characterized by diamond and gyroid surfaces. We then discuss that a twin boundary can result from a stacking fault in the arrangement of inter-lamellar attachments at an early stage of structure formation. It is further shown that enhanced curvature fluctuations near the twin boundary would cost energy because of geometrical frustration, which would be eased by a crystal distortion that is experimentally observed.

Serial crystallography is having an increasing impact on structural biology. This emerging technique opens up new possibilities for studying protein structures at room temperature and investigating structural dynamics using time-resolved X-ray diffraction. A limitation of the method is the intrinsic need for large quantities of well ordered micrometre-sized crystals. Here, a method is presented to screen for conditions that produce microcrystals of membrane proteins in the lipidic cubic phase using a well-based crystallization approach. A key advantage over earlier approaches is that the progress of crystal formation can be easily monitored without interrupting the crystallization process. In addition, the protocol can be scaled up to efficiently produce large quantities of crystals for serial crystallography experiments. Using the well-based crystallization methodology, novel conditions for the growth of showers of microcrystals of three different membrane proteins have been developed. Diffraction data are also presented from the first user serial crystallography experiment performed at MAX IV Laboratory.

Digitonin has long been used as a mild detergent for extracting proteins from membranes for structure and function studies. As supplied commercially, digitonin is inhomogeneous and requires lengthy pre-treatment for reliable downstream use. Glyco-diosgenin (GDN) is a recently introduced synthetic surfactant with features that mimic digitonin. It is available in homogeneously pure form. GDN is proving to be a useful detergent, particularly in the area of single-particle cryo-electron microscopic studies of membrane integral proteins. With a view to using it as a detergent for crystallization trials by the in meso or lipid cubic phase method, it was important to establish the carrying capacity of the cubic mesophase for GDN. This was quantified in the current study using small-angle X-ray scattering for mesophase identification and phase microstructure characterization as a function of temperature and GDN concentration. The data show that the lipid cubic phase formed by hydrated monoolein tolerates GDN to concentrations orders of magnitude in excess of those used for membrane protein studies. Thus, having GDN in a typical membrane protein preparation should not deter use of the in meso method for crystallogenesis.

Several oils were examined for use in the cleaning and cryoprotection of crystals in the lipidic cubic phase in terms of their effect on the crystal stability, the background scattering and the facilitation of the experiment.
